The Westgate Inn, Taunton

A fantastic place that was actually taken over by Punch Taverns, via their acquisition of a large company called Pubmaster, several years ago (not a few months ago as stated by an earlier uninformed reviewer). Be fair to them - they did spend �130k on the refurb.

Carl, Anita, James & Carly are superb and the pub oozes character Along with the Moat House and the Racehorse, this is one of the top 3 pubs in Taunton.

A superb local with great characters, great music and a great pint. Not many pubs stock St Austell's Tribute and Carl maintains and serves this perfectly. Even his miserable scowl would be missed as it's all part of the charm!!

The Moat House, Taunton

This is a superb pub, if that is the right description. A genuine 'chameleon' bar that is many things to many people. Jean-Philippe and Jane are excellent hosts and their team members are all friendly and exceptionally well trained. There should be one of these bars in every town!!
